The Guru: Is Kelsey Bone coming out for the draft?

[pap49cba]

From Mel's ND - Villanova game report...

"She [Diggins] is projected among the top three picks in the WNBA draft in April with the others being Baylor great Brittney Griner, anticipated to be the first pick by the Phoenix Mercury, and Delaware sensation Elena Delle Donne, likely to go second to the Chicago Sky. The Tulsa Shock have the third pick.

This could all change if trades are made between now and April and there has also been a bit of a buzz that perhaps Texas A&M star Kelsey Bone may come out since this would normally be her senior season. She originally began her collegiate career at South Carolina, recruited by Dawn Staley, before transferring back near home in her native Texas."

Yes that was mentioned during their game the other night -- she's going to graduate this year, so she could enter the draft if she wanted.

I think Kelsey's game needs more refinement. I wouldn't pick her over Griner (absolute no brainer), EDD, or even Skylar, unless I have a really good PG and need size. Even then, I think Skylar is the better option. I think Bone would go in the first round but not real early.

Kelsey Bone would not be a bad pick for the CT Sun. Don't know if she would slide to the 11th pick, as Indiana could pick her with the 9th pick.

I've gotten so I love the WNBA; so many of our guys...it's really great!

Im sure EDD wish she could play with her idol DT3...

She doesn't seem to have the drive to be the best player she can be as a collegiate. Going up a level is probably not the answer. Why not get part of a graduate program paid for and stick around another year?

Would she be satisfied as a likely long-term backup to Tina?

Given Kelsey's lack of fitness, which to me seems to be a bit of a statement on her work ethic regarding fitness, I'm not sure I'd take a chance on her terribly high. She reminds me a bit of Kara Braxton who has averaged 7.5 PPG and 16 MPG over her career. Decent numbers, but certainly not fantastic. I think Bone would make a terrific back up center. But I think I'd probably take Kelly over her if both were available at the same time...

much better thread title than the original Bone coming out

Depends on your needs. If I need a post and Griner and EDD are taken, I would take Bone before Diggins and Kelly.
